The protein data of L. donovani 9044 and DD8 strains was generated by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in our previous studies (26 (link)). Proteomic data was not employed for immunoinformatics analysis in previous studies and it can be retrieved from ProteomeXchange Consortium via the accession number PXD017089. In brief, L. 9044 and L. DD8 were cultured and collected to incubate in lysis buffer (8 M urea and 1% protease inhibitor cocktail) at 4°C for 3 min. Lysis samples were sonicated on ice three times using a high-intensity ultrasonic processor (Scientz, Ningbo, China) and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation for an insolution reduction, alkylation, and digestion approach. The processed samples were dissolved in 1.0% (v/v) formic acid, and then subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis using a QExactiveTM Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled online to the EASY-nLC 1000 UPLC system. Perseus software v.1.6.15.0 was employed to determine differentially expressed proteins (Fold change ≥ 3, q-value < 0.01) between L. 9044 and L. DD8.
